Amsterdam, Netherlands

Hi there! And sorry for the recently lack of new posts but, between a few days of vacations (without computer) and my busy work, I haven't been able to "blog" much. Nevertheless, sometimes working helps and this time it was exactly that what happened - my work took me to a conference in Amsterdam for a few days ;)
Amsterdam Channels, HollandIn a quick opinion I must say that I simply loved Amsterdam. To give you an overview of the place I'll start by publishing some panoramic photos of the city's centre in this first Amsterdam post.
Amsterdam Channels, HollandAs you can see above and bellow the combination of the city's beautiful architecture with it's many channels produces a fantastic atmosphere. As to the food there it's good and you'll find a lot, and I mean a lot, of restaurants and bars available for you to choose from.
Amsterdam Channels, HollandAnother plus factor of the town is it's public transportation system and it's geography with almost no hills who allows the many, many bicycles - between the trams and the bikes cars were almost removed from the scene.

I was last in Amsterdam almost exactly two years ago and I fell in love with the place all over again. With regard to the traffic, one thing I was most impressed about was the patient and pleasant way that motorised transport gave way to the bicycles which in turn gave way to pedestrians. Cheerful good humour on the roads, in a busy city, is not something I encounter all that often.

Hi Sheila!

I agree with you completely, the people there are super civilized in traffic. Good humor on the roads is in deed difficult to find :)

Cheers,
SGE

P.S.: I visit your postcard site regularly and I like it very much, congratulations!

I never thought that Amsterdam is really beautiful. I only knew the place because of prostitution. They said that prostitution is legalized in this country so it didn't sink into my mind that the place have a stunning beauty.
